Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District

Teamwork makes the dream work 🤝. Our maintenance department spent the afternoon with iMpact Utah for an engaging and challenging team building exercise that consisted of a simulated nascar pit crew experience. We had to practice skills in communication, problem solving, collaboration, leadership and more as we competed against each other towards achieving the fastest time in changing two tires on the car. One winning team was able to get the job done in 32 seconds! That’s pretty good time relative to others, but that’s only one side of the race car - how do the pro pit crews do it!? Teamwork is an important part of our company culture and we’re proud to provide learning opportunities like this for our employees. There’s no doubt that strong teamwork and leadership help us do our jobs well.

Our Reverse Osmosis Plant in West Jordan has been in operation for a little over 10 years. This plant delivers drinking water to the northwest area of the Salt Lake Valley. Join us on a tour our the RO plant supervisor, Alex Mitchell, to see inside our digs and learn how the reverse osmosis process works.

Our Equipment Maintenance Team is tasked with fixing and maintaining all of our equipment at JVWCD, from work trucks, to equipment in our facilities. Their skill set is as versatile as the projects they take on. Today they reinstalled a maturation mixer at one of our water treatment facilities. The mixer works like a giant immersion blender to help particles in the water settle out faster during the flocculation phase of raw water treatment. While the installation is simple in theory (attaching the shaft to the motor, then fastening on the blades and putting the motor back together), it’s not a simple project because of the sheer size of this piece of equipment. The hard work of our equipment maintenance team helps us reliably deliver high quality drinking water to our 800k+ customers in the Salt Lake Valley. 💪🏼🛠️ Learn more about our water at www.jvwcd.org #utahwater #watertreatment #watertreatmentplants #cleandrinkingwater #watersource #equipmentmaintenance #waterworks #waterdistribution #waterdistrict

Our in house Facility & Grounds Maintenance Team works hard to keep all of our facilities in great shape - everything from grounds landscaping to indoor facility maintenance (like deep cleaning our tanks and reservoirs and cleaning treatment plants too). Projects are both big and small and we are grateful for all their hard work which enables our operations to run smoothly across the company. Many of our employees (including leadership) got their start at Jordan Valley Water on this team and have since progressed into other areas to help the district grow and innovate over the years.

Our Meters teams makes sure that all of our meters (the big ones tracking water flow through major pipelines to cities, and the smaller ones tracking flow to homes and businesses) are working properly. This helps ensure that billing is accurate so you don’t get over charged and it supports our System Operations team as they manage the flow of water through our entire underground infrastructure. Next time you see one of our guys around town checking meters in your area, say hello!👋🏼 They’re great at helping our customers handle any troubleshooting or questions with meters.

Our System Operations team has to manage the flow and the pressure of municipal water as it moves through the complex pipe infrastructure under the Salt Lake Valley. That means that to get water to all the areas in the valley depending on water demand (like high summer when people are using a lot more water) we need to boost it - or increase the pressure so more water can get to where it needs to go (I.e. your tap). As lead operator, Kolby, explains, our booster stations are connected to a computer system that monitors the flow and pressure. Sometimes we can manage it on the computer at our command center, other times we have to be there onsite to turn valves. We are proud of the dedication and attention to detail that our team displays 24/7  in order to ensure every customer in our service district has clean drinking water when they then need it!

You turn on your faucet and the water is there, but who ensures water is there when you need it? If you’re in the Salt Lake Valley, then it’s likely our System Operations team! There’s a complex network of underground pipe infrastructure in the Salt Lake Valley that connects your residential and commercial plumbing to city pipes, and those pipes connect to our main pipelines which connect to our reservoir tanks, underground wells, booster stations, and treatment plants. Our System Ops team is responsible for managing the flow, chemicals, and pressure of water as it flows from our infrastructure to everyone taps based on user demands across the valley. We are proud of the dedication and attention to detail that our team displays 24/7 in order to ensure every customer in our service district has clean drinking water when they then need it!

With the weather warming up, best practices for water conservation in Utah is becoming a hot topic. Maria Shilaos and Taun Beddes hosted the KSL NewsRadio Greenhouse Show at the Conservation Garden Park with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District last week. They spoke with multiple water experts about best practices for conserving water this season. One topic they covered was the use of "Smart" sprinkler controllers and the rebate program that every homeowner in Utah qualifies for.
